What is Prostate Cancer?

The prostate is a small gland in the pelvis of men, it is located next to the bladder. It produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperms. Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, it is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths for men. Normally prostate cancer grows slowly and is initially limited to the prostate gland, over here it may not cause any severe harm, other types of prostate cancer are aggressive and can spread quickly. About 1 in 9 men are been diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer which is detected early has a better chance of successful treatment. Prostate diseases are treated by Urologists.
